ATown Destroyed by Fire.


ERIE, July 5.-A special 10 the Dis.
patch says At so p. m. Bre
started in what is known as the old
Snow planning mill at Clarendon, sew
en- miles east Of Warren, on thePhila-
delphia and Erie railroad and shortly
afterwards another was seen issuing
from the Weaver hotel, owned by John
Mahoney. There was brisk wind
blowing aud the fire swept over the
frame tui,dings like u whirlwind. The
lire department being small and unable
to cope with the two fires, appeals for
aid were made to Warren. A steamer
and hook and ladder truck and two full
Gre companies were sent, arriving at
Clarendon at II. 30. Every effolt was
made to saye the towr, but the depot Of
the Philadelphia aud EIie railroad was
the only buildlag OF consequences saytd
The area burned oyer is about 20 ACRES.
The value Of the buildings destroyed is
$3.50, 900, roughly estimated. while the
insurance is small, Adiusters are now
on the ground. II is estimated that L.
100 people are homeless tonight some
are camped out at Clarendon while
some have been taken to Warren, from
which place provisions were sent.
Rough lumber is being sent to Cldren
don as fast as possible IN order that
shelter may be provided for those bnru-
ed ont.
It is now well established that the
fire was of incendiary origin. Public
rumor at Clarendon says that two
weeks ago when the liqnor licenses
were refused to all applicants in War
rem County, Mahoney, proprietor of the
Weaver house, threatened to fire the
town if the decision Of the court was
not reversed in two weeks. This morn.
ing after the lire burned out, citizens
looked about forMahoney, for one of the
fires started in his room In the hotel, but
he was not 10 be found. A warrant
charging him with arson was swOln
out'and searching parties secured the
surrounding country to apprehend d him.
lie was found hiding in the woods six
miles from Clarendon and because
Iynching was feared he was taken to
Warren to Jail. a Gharred skeleton
was found in one Of the rooms of the
hotel and is supposed to be that of a
hack driver named Sullivan who is
missing. lie was seen about the hotel
early in the evening drunk.

plications for license 10 sell liquor, were
refused last April, and whose appeal to

the 18th inst. Each landlord qualified
himself under oath 10 live up to the a.
greement, which shall not be changed
unless by the unanimous consent OF the
parties interested.
The regular boarders at all the hotels
who have been notified to leave at once
are greatly distressed by reason of their
inability to find suitable lodging plac-
es elsewhere. Many of them are being
taken care of by personal friends. The
landlords Justify their action by declar-
ing that without license they cannot
afford to keep their hous2s open. 1t is
feared that the success of The proposed
celebration Of the cOunty's centennial
